JDF was good people. Complicated, sure, but infinitely generous in spirit. Working together/getting to know him is still a dumbfounding treasure to me.
Jason wasn’t Tommy, Dr. O, or Drakkon. But all their best parts, the stuff that excited and inspired you, they were him. ⚡️
“I do put the ‘spy’ in ‘spinosaurus.”
They put my boy in the show. THEY PUT MY BOY IN THE SHOW, and every moment with Heckyl was pure magic.
Thank you (truly) to everyone that made this possible. ⚡️

Friends, Olivia’s existence doesn’t break anything. Her story is firmly EU. JJ is canon. He is directly referenced in the show multiple times, and affirmed in publishing.
Enjoy both! Whilst I never worked w./AJJ directly in my time, I’m told she’s lovely/talented. More is more!
You’re probably not hearing it enough RN, so...
THANK YOU for wearing a mask
THANK YOU for social distancing
THANK YOU for living small
THANK YOU for sacrificing comforts
THANK YOU for giving up holiday gatherings
THANK YOU for making it work
THANK YOU for caring about others
Heartbroken. Angry. Proud.
To those special someones out there that may need to read this: We love you. We see your good works, and (when you’re ready) we’re out here, ready to stand by your side, and light your darkness. ♥️⚡️
For anyone interested: I’m giving away Gold Ranger power for free. It won’t heal you. It won’t do anything but brighten your day. But, if you need it, it’s there; AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF IT. Simply reach out with your imaginations, and it’s yours.
Be blessed. Bless others.

Easier to sell hate to suckers than genuine love, empathy, and understanding to strangers.

Cards on the table: Boom’s Power Rangers comics are canon. They were always canon. We designed them to be canon. This is fundamental in understanding Darkest Hour

is NOT the technical, canonical end of Power Rangers. Cosmic Fury/Once and Always is (at time of writing). Thread.
The items in the Heritage Auction make me sad 3 fold:
1. I remember discovering, and cataloging so many of them w./my Saban colleagues
2. What it all means
3. That you’re all going to outbid me on Phantom, MMPR: TM White, and DT Black.
At least it’ll all be in fan hands. 🤝⚡️
Absolute Power feels like the first worthy summer Event in some time for DC. Waid is Waid; clean, clear, character-driven.

Amazing. Must read.

As a reminder:
If someone claims to posthumously speak for someone in a tone/manner/sentiment incongruent with who they were in life, chances are it’s a.) garbage, and b.) some attempt to profiteer off the dead. It’s vile.
Let the dead rest. Let their legacy speak for itself.
Going through old pictures. These are from WDW '08, two years before the sale. 'Figured someone might want these for their personal archives. I could have never known then the journey I would take 8yrs later. Magic stuff, that. ⚡️
So… just ran into

Honestly honestly? All franchises need breaks. That's healthy for the property AND the audience. I think we're slowly/painfully learning this lesson across the industry. We're so franchise-driven ATM, we do not yet understand that sentiment thrives in rest, reset, and recovery.
Hot take -

*Mixed kid discovering his Hispanic heritage as an adult
*Crazy talented but struggling to make ends meet
*Can’t get out of the shadows of his predecessors

Wearing this in honor of the day. So much respect & love for the many wonderful people that have made this year so creatively special. Thank YOU. S2 is going to 🤯.

I just want to reiterate this HARD. Since 2016, the Boom run has been the most-consistent, interesting, imaginative, and inspiring corner of the Power Rangers universe. Period. Full stop. ⚡️
Do yourself a favor: read (or read again)!
Grid Battleforce’s vault was filled with artifacts that slipped through the cracks during Shattered Grid. Not everything; some was loaned, shared, and co-developed with other groups (Fairweather, SPD), but how else would they have items from parallel worlds and timelines?⚡️

, all.
Rangers has meant different things to me at different times in my life, but it has always been a respite; a place of infinite dreams anchored by friendship, teamwork, and a call to mentorship and good works.
…and Dark Ranger. Dark Ranger is life.
Once and Always was pure joy! Loved the lore: Cranston Technologies, S.P.A., Alpha 8/RR, and Minh. Feeling nothing but gratitude to

By far and away, Vulcan and Valkyrie’s ecology of design is some of the best we’ve seen in tokusatsu, period. Just look at the cleanliness (and thoughtfulness) of this evolution.

Got a very special DM: I’ve been listed as having played Psycho Green on the wikis. It may be silly to some, but to me, it means the world.
Thank you to whoever did this. 💚⚡️

Superman is real, friends. No one costume nor actor can contain him. He is a spirit of unstoppable joy, drawing you beyond the constraints of today, and into the belief, and wonderment of tomorrow.
Terry McGinnis as Bruce's retconned son is not only silly, it's unnecessary apocrypha. The magic of Batman is found family - orphans of tragedy bound by common purpose. Gov. programs, DNA robots, and orchestrated crime to produce an heir in Terry is totally missing the point.

I don't know what comes next, but I know the path here, and I cannot express how grateful I am to team Saban, every contributing writer & artist, and the unstoppable Boom crew for making this book everything it became. This was a labor of love for all, and every page shows it. ⚡️
And here’s my final goodbye to the rangers. The double cover to MIGHTY MORPHIN’ POWER RANGERS # 122.
Extremely proud of this cover,extremely proud of this run.
Two years today: Morphicon. I could’ve never imagined then the disruption ahead, nonetheless the experiences, affirmations, and challenges.
Phantom’s always been my favorite, and like Phantom, I’m on my own path; a galaxy of adventures behind me, and boldly ahead.

The first Black Red Ranger, T.J. was infinitely more than a maker of history, he was a stalwart and worthy successor, who fiercely kept himself, and his friends honest.

Had to unsub from a # of fan YT channels. How we use language is important.
Rumors ≠ Leaks
Speculation ≠ Leaks
Piecemeal Conclusions ≠ Leaks
Real leaks are bad news bears (not harmless sport). EZ to forget: leaks usually mean something criminal has occurred (NDAs broken).
Imagine fighting such a thing in silence, yet advocating for others facing that same battle.
Imagine all that talent forfeit; the millions that saw in him a piece of themselves represented for the first time.
An icon. A leader. Undefeated.
